Modern Art: Shocking and Scaring


These artists use their art to express the horrors and sexuality of life. It's because of their art that we are not shocked when exposed to horror or sexually explicit movies or videos. It's my opinion that this type of art will stay popular, because people will always want more and more. For example the art work used in the Nightmare on Elm Street movie was very scary which made it seem real. As a result, the movie was very popular and several sequels were released to give the audience more. Though some of the art was very sexually explicit, I actually found the art very interesting mainly because it not all pretty and beautiful. I believe the role of the type of art should be used in movies and horror themes, Public funds should support this art just as it support all others because this art is based on some of life's realities. It also allow us to use our imagination, while triggering other senses.

  1. You made a great point connecting the work to horror movies--why do you suppose it is more acceptable to represent such things in movies than in art?
